lyrics

People Wave

People wave in my town
People wave because they're friendly
People wave in my town, in my town
People wave in my town
People wave because they like to
People wave in my town, in my town

From the moment that you get here you will know that it is friendly
By the people you see smiling everywhere
They may look a little silly, but the them it doesn't matter
They know that they are better off that way

People wave...

You may come from near or far, it doesn't matter who you are
We'll always treat you in a most congenial way
If you're tired you can rest. If you're hungry be our guest
If you're lost we'll kindly guide you on your way

People wave...

Oh, it used to be different
Fighting night and day
Till we finally got the message
That fussing and fighting don't make things better
Hurting and hitting never make things better
Shooting and killing never make a better way

Said the student to the teacher and the trash man to the preacher
By the light of truth we're really quite the same
All we ask is for respect and even when we disagree
Can we agree to do it without blame

People wave...

From the moment of conception, to the door we know as death
There is really only one thing we need learn
The thoughts that we give out are the thoughts that we get back
And they usually come in multiple returns

People wave...

about

Hal Lefferts Salisbury, Connecticut

With changes brought on by a pandemic and the onset of some hand problems, now I mostly play music on my porch for the bears and the owls. There's all kind of hootin' going on. I hope these songs find a warm place in your heart. Thanks for listening.
